Scientastic posted:Jesus loving Christ what happened to being concerned with great affairs of state? How can we be in a position where any politician in the UK would say something so incredibly stupid. Like, “blah blah, we may disagree in our politics, but we definitely agree on fundamentals of democratic process blah blah” is boring, but it’s not irredeemably loving dumb She observed that Boris made flippant comments and was popular with the Tory base and is trying to do the same. The difference is that she is shockingly bad at it because she very obviously has no sense of humour.

Trickjaw posted:They've got tuppence happening left and they are spending it on this? When everyone in charge spends all their time in the Westminster bubble, the only thing important is getting noticed by the press. It's a shame, therefore, that everyone in charge is too stupid to realise that the press' interest is 95% on the Tory leadership election and 5% on "hey, why are prices going up?"

Hungry posted:Restarting the Hundred Years War for shits and giggles. To be fair, the Treaty of Picquigny only specified a seven-year truce, a bunch of cash payments, and a marriage. Nowhere in the treaty did it say that England would be in violation if she nuked France.

Camrath posted:I use Judge pans (well, 10l Stockpots) over an induction hob for my fudgemaking, and can confirm- they’re bloody brilliant. Somehow manage to both heat the mix quicker and burn it less than using gas. I wanted to ask this the last time you mentioned something. Are you really buying your ingredients in a normal shop? Are there no Engros shops for businesses like e.g topcc or prodega etc like we have in CH? They’re not necessarily (much) cheaper, but they have things in bigger amounts. (Be careful about VAT).

Jaeluni Asjil posted:https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/aug/25/big-energy-firms-refuse-to-supply-small-uk-businesses-bankruptcy-fears-contracts Weird how neither of the Tory candidates are interested in actually doing anything about the energy crisis. Or reflect at all on why England is so far behind other European countries in terms of insulation or heating methods. I was a bit uncertain about how the "price cap" worked and how many people got their energy bills "capped" but it turns out not to work like that at all. https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/check-if-energy-price-cap-affects-you Tldr it's actually a maximum unit and standing price, there's no total cap where you start using stuff for free. The numbers quoted are the bill for an average household on a unit-capped tarif

Well I suppose it depends on you are asking an actual vegan or a holier than though arsehole who uses veganism to feed their ego. Google tells me PETA don't think it's vegan.

I assume there's some lunatic out there who won't eat mushrooms for some reason, but I've never met them. I wouldn't mind farmed truffles if no animal labour was used, same as I don't mind regular mushrooms.

Maugrim posted:I thought the whole point of truffles was we hadn't figured out how to farm them so you have to follow your pig around the woods or whatever It's mostly dogs now apparently because the pigs kept just straight up eating the truffles they found. I've never heard anything about pigs that made me think they shouldn't be in charge. Nilbop posted:What if the pig didn't know what a truffle was and just wanted a nice walk? Then it wouldn't be a sustainable business model! To your actual question it varies by person, but personally I wouldn't mind "incidental" animal labour. I had a friend who kept chickens, treated them very well, and every so often got the eggs that the chickens didn't eat themselves. I wouldn't have any moral issues with eating those eggs.

I wouldn't mind farmed truffles if no animal labour was used, same as I don't mind regular mushrooms. Obviously. I was just trying to be sarcastic because to my knowledge the "farming" of truffles is still kind of hit & miss & ultimately still involves dogs to sniff up where the truffle is. I think you have to seed a specific variety of sapling (hazelnut maybe? I forget) with truffle spores & just let nature take its course, which does mean that the location of the truffle is unknown, which separates it from growing tatties for example. TBH I'm surprised no one has tried to make an electronic device that can detect the aromatic element of the truffle.
